Cold store and freezer doors in Stornoway

Quick answer

We can install sliding, hinged and high-speed cold store doors in Stornoway and across the Highlands and Islands, coordinating with your refrigeration engineer so the room is back at its working temperature quickly after the change.

Town: Stornoway
Postcode district: HS1
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

Options that matter on site

Impact protection. Kick plates, buffers and bollards to keep trucks off leaves and frames.
Thick insulation. Foam-filled leaves sized to the room temperature, from chillers to freezers.
Tight seals. The leaf pulls in against its gaskets on closing so cold air stays where it belongs.
Pressure relief. Relief valves to balance pressure after the door closes or during defrost.
Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a hinged chiller door with a stainless steel finish to a walk-in cold room in a commercial kitchen.
Motorising a heavy manual cold store door with pull-cord activation, a safety edge on the closing leaf and photocells.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Stornoway?

In Scotland, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Keeping your site running during the work

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Frequently asked questions

Do you supply cold store doors for food businesses in the Highlands and Islands?

Yes. We supply and fit cold store doors with hygienic finishes for food producers, processors, distributors and commercial kitchens across the Highlands and Islands, and we talk through your hygiene, cleaning and audit requirements at the survey before recommending a finish.

Can you replace a freezer door at our Stornoway site without losing stock?

We plan the change with you and your refrigeration engineer. Many doors can be swapped in a day, sometimes with stock moved or the plant set back temporarily, so the room returns to temperature quickly.

What safety release do cold store doors in Stornoway need?

Every cold store door should open from inside without a key or tool, even when locked from outside. We fit a clearly marked inside release and can add an alarm button connected to a monitored panel.
